I quite like that the title of the book is a clever play on the classic 23 part SCG series “My Fires.”

Very well done indeed.

I am super Psyched

Dave Petterson | August 24, 2009 | 4:34 pm

Has the actual release/shipping date been finalized yet? I’m getting pretty excited at the prospect of this arriving on my doorstep any day now.

Matt Wang | August 24, 2009 | 4:49 pm

@Dave,

We have had some issues with the cover and will be sending out an email tonight or tomorrow about the books.

We will offer a little bonus for those who have already purchased them.

David Petterson | September 25, 2009 | 10:27 pm

Is there yet a more concrete shipping date?

X | October 19, 2009 | 4:55 pm

Yeah come on dudes, you need to keep people who paid posted!

Ronaldo Avelino | October 20, 2009 | 2:23 pm

Any news about Zvi’s book ?

gretchen nicholson | October 24, 2009 | 12:10 pm

any chance of this being out by the end of the year?

Matt Wang | October 25, 2009 | 10:27 pm

Fans,

Our apologies for the radio silence. We had an issue with the foreword and now BDM will be writing it for the book. We should have the book hitting the printers soon and will have more of an update very shortly.

If you have any questions, feel free to post them or email me at orders@top8magic.com.

Best,

Matt

Brad | November 4, 2009 | 2:47 am

Are electronic copies of this book available? I’d be keen to buy a copy but just not a hard copy to clog up my overcrowded shelves. Cheers.

David Petterson | November 25, 2009 | 5:36 pm

So…no book. No update. At what point does a reasonable consumer request a refund?

Matt Wang | November 25, 2009 | 5:54 pm

@David

We sent out an email last week. The book is at the printer and should be in our hands soon.

If you want a refund, we can easily send it to you.

Best

Matt

Kevin S. T. | December 19, 2009 | 3:00 pm

Any chance this book will end up being made available through Amazon.com? I likely won’t notice a reply so please email me if it will, as I don’t tend to buy a lot of books while out of the house.
